 Rudy had a little outing today. First stop---the dentist.

 Next stop---Wegman's grocery store. We only need 2 parking spaces!

 
 "Actual Size"
Size does matter!

As usual, Rudy attracted a lot of attention wherever we went today. Our dentist, Dr. Messina, came out for a quick tour as well as a woman who worked in a furniture store nearby. She had seen one on a program on TV about extreme RVs. They were both blown away!!! At the grocery store a woman noticed the Montana license plates and struck up a conversation. Turns out she was from...Montana. There's a lot of rubbernecking going on as we drive around the DC area. People take pictures of Rudy as they're driving by. They're so distracted we've almost been side-swiped a number of times! Driving in an urban area can be as challenging as being off-road. A lot of the streets in Virginia are extremely narrow and the traffic is beyond belief. That said, the Roamer is incredibly nimble and easy to maneuver. You don't feel like you're driving something that weighs 18,000 pounds!
